They embody the otherwordly figures the Tuatha Dè Danann, a supernatural group of creatures from Gaelic mythology. Although they dwell in the spiritual realm, they often interact with humans and return to our realm on the night of Beltane to celebrate the May Queen and the Green Man’s ritual union.

Just as other groups at Beltane honour the two deities with their performances, Guth nam Beò give tribute to the May Queen and the Green Man by performing their favourite songs and dances. Their performance will illustrate the elements of Earth, Air, Fire and Water as well as broader themes like death, rebirth, and love.
